Culpeo Minerals is a copper exploration and development company with assets in Chile, the world’s number one copper producer. The company is exploring and developing high-grade copper systems in the coastal Cordillera region of Chile.
The company has made a new discovery at Lana Corina and has recently acquired the Fortuna project, which hosts a suite of promising exploration targets. Both projects are situated in the Coquimbo region of Chile and contain significant outcropping high-grade copper mineralisation which offers multiple walk-up drill targets.
Culpeo Minerals has a strong board and management team with significant Chilean country expertise and has an excellent in-country network. All these elements enable the company to gain access to quality assets in a non-competitive environment. We leverage the experience and relationships developed over 10 years in-country, to deliver low cost and effective discovery and resource growth. We aim to create value for our shareholders through exposure to the acquisition, discovery and development of mineral properties which feature high-grade, near surface copper mineralisation.
